Can someone explain if there is an equivalent to Scotlands People (‘SP’) for England? Most of my ancestors are Scottish but some strayed across the border. The most reliable research tools in Scotland are scans of the original OPR and BMD records from 1855. Also censuses from 1841 to 1911.You do have to buy credits for SP for a modest cost but you can glean so much from the original documents compared to transcriptions. I am an Ancestry subscriber but find the searches to be mainly blunt instruments.
